Why do clones die so quickly?

For example Dolly, or that extinct Ibex goat that we tried bringing back. Why did they die do quickly?

is there a maximum tempature like there is a minimum tempature ( -273°C)?

Posted: 02 Aug 2020 06:01 AM PDT

I heard from my physics teacher that there is in fact an minimum tempature but not a maximum tempature. there is a minimum temperture because tempature is actually the pace of the atoms shaking, and the atoms at that tempature will then dont move anymore, and you cant move slower than not moving.

but isnt it than possible that the maximum temperture is for the atoms to shake at lightspeed?

Would it be feesible for us to program a machine learning computer to understand all combinations of elements, chemicals, and compounds, and then have it run simulations to determine solutions for stuff like curing cancer, or repairing the ozone, or something?

Why are surgical masks blue? Why are they never a different color like red or purple?

Evolution by randomness or necessity?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:48 PM PDT

I always thought that Evolution is by selection. I mean, giraffes, for example, need to be taller to reach taller trees. So, next generation of giraffes will be taller than the old ones, but no by randomness, because they need it. Need to be taller to reach food.

I was talking with a friend, and she says that occurs by randomness. That means, randomly, a giraffe did born with a taller neck, so the next generations of that giraffe did born with taller necks. But that sounds very unlikely to me.

Just imagine, it is not just the neck. A giraffe needed a stronger heart to have the enough strength to push blood to the head, and needed better balance because gravity center is higher.

It doesn't makes sense for me Evolution by randomness. Maybe a combination of both? I don't know.

How much experience is required for the visual development of different animals?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:02 PM PDT

Infant humans only have rudimentary visual perception at birth -- they can sense brightness and motion, and not much else. It takes a few months to develop more complex visual perception.

What about other animals? Are their visual abilities innate? I guess this might be the case for simpler animals. What about more complex animals, such as mammals -- can any of them see well from birth, or do all mammals require a while to start seeing well?

Why does Norway's coastline look so fractured compared to other countries?

Posted: 02 Aug 2020 05:28 AM PDT

I know it's because of small islands, but why are there so many?

Can we take a mitochondrion out of a cell and see how it will survive by itself?

How can doctors/labs tell what type of cancer a person has? And how can they tell what stage the cancer is at?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:53 AM PDT

For example, when a biopsy is done, what is being looked for? Is it a certain type of cell or cell growth? If they cant do a biopsy, can they tell just by looking at size and location of a tumor? It seems like there are so many types of cancers out there, how can they tell which one a person has?

I've noticed several diseases that originate in birds to infect humans are unusually serious. Is this a pattern, or have I just been looking at bird diseases by random chance? If so, why?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:43 PM PDT

The diseases in question are Botulinum/botulinism, which mostly affects migratory birds, West Nile and Eastern Equine Encephelitis, which both spread from birds to humans via mosquitoes, and of course avian influenza, which I think is more deadly than 'regular' (if such a thing exists) influenza.

Is this a pattern that's been noticed by people who don't just listen to podcasts about horrible diseases, or is it a case of pattern recognition (learning about horrible diseases -> many mentioned come from birds -> are diseases from birds more horrible?)

If so, why?

Will melting ice displacement really make oceans rise?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 09:05 PM PDT

As I understand, ice is larger by volume than water and a large portion of ice is under water at the polar caps. If global warming causes the ice to thaw, will the oceans really rise?

What is adsorption?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:39 PM PDT

I came across this term in my casual reading of books. I understand that it is the ability of liquids and gasses to adhere to a solid, but beyond this textbook definition I don't understand.

If the current vaccines for covid-19 prove successful, there will still be a lag in production. What would be the most effective way to distribute the vaccine globally for maximum effect?

Why does the diaphragm reverse its motion after phrenic nerve damage?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 09:26 AM PDT

What exactly makes the affected side of the diaphragm move upwards during inspiration, and downwards during expiration.

How do CPU design engineers work with such massive yet tiny scales?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:57 AM PDT

How do design engineers comprehend literally billions of transistors when redesigning chips. I assume the general format for a memory bus or a cache is kind of set, and most of the tech is making it smaller and more efficient, but they still must work in the transistor level of the circuitry, no? How does a person or group or company even begin to tackle a 10 billion unit problem?

What is the relation between v , f and λ ? And does it change when we're talking about different waves (light , sound and water)?

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:25 AM PDT

Hello I'm in grade 10 and I'm doing the topic waves . What I'm struggling with is the relationship between v , f and λ. What I've been told is that v is directly proportional to λ so if the speed of a wave increases , the wavelength also increases and vice versa (provided f is constant) . I came across a question in which they were asking how the frequency of a water wave affects it's wavelength . So I searched it up and the answer was that frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength so if frequency increases , wavelength decreases and vice versa . But because wavelength and speed of a wave are directly proportional does that mean speed of a wave will also decrease if frequency is increased ? This doesn't make sense to me . Are the rules of v = fλ different when you're talking about different waves e.g light , water , sound . I'm struggling with this and don't know what to do and would really appreciate it if someone would explain the relation between these three quantities properly and how (if) they change when we're talking about different waves . Thank you !
